Political Economy of Globalization:
The Endogenous Policy Approach
Dates: 07 August – 11 August 2017
4 ECTS
Professor: Douglas Nelson

Webpage: http://nelson.wp.tulane.edu/
Current events suggest that the politics of globalization have become an issue of first-rate importance. The goal of this course is to develop a robust set of theoretical and econometric tools for analysing the political economy of globalization. In particular, we develop an approach generally called endogenous policy modeling–an extension of general equilibrium theory to incorporate politics. As our leading example, we will focus on trade and migration policy, but the application of this approach is as broad as the application of general equilibrium theory to policy analysis in general. The course is intended to provide students with an overview of research in this area and to provide them with the tools to carry out research on the links between trade/migration, politics and policy-making.
Grading
Class participation (10%); research paper (90%).
Everyone must prepare a piece of original research on the topic of the seminar. The paper need not focus on one of the lecture topics, but it must be related to political economy of globalization. To ensure that there is no confusion, I require a paper proposal submitted to me no later than the day of the last lecture. The papers are due 6 (six) weeks after the completion of the lectures.
Organization
Lectures: Total Nr. of hours: 25.
Schedule: The course takes place from Monday 07-08 until Friday 11-08. Class hours are 9.30am-12am (noon), 1.30pm-4pm. This is an intensive course. Please try to do (some) readings already before the course-week starts.
Place: Room ‘Silva Casa’. World Trade Institute, University Bern. Hallerstrasse 6. 3012-Bern.
Readings: The syllabus of readings that follows contains live links that will allow you to easily access readings. In the syllabus, some reading are market with a “■”, I consider these to be essential readings; while others are marked with a “○”, I consider these to be important enough to be on the syllabus (and you should read them if you plan to make political economy an essential part of your future research), but not essential.
